“The Fellows of the AMS designation recognizes members who have made outstanding contributions to the creation, exposition, advancement, communication, and utilization of mathematics,” the organization said in its announcement. “Among the goals of the program are to create an enlarged class of mathematicians recognized by their peers as distinguished for their contributions to the profession and to honor excellence.”

“The new AMS Fellows Program recognizes some of the most accomplished mathematicians -- AMS members who have contributed to our understanding of deep and important mathematical questions, to applications throughout the scientific world, and to educational excellence," AMS President Eric M. Friedlander added.

The American Mathematical Society (AMS) has named 25 faculty or emeritus faculty from NYU’s Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Polytechnic Institute of NYU as AMS fellows for 2013, the program’s initial year.
